Podcasts about Mozambique

When a family sailing journey ends in capture by child soldiers during Mozambique's civil war, a man must protect his children while confronting the unsettling truth that his captors are both perpetrators of violence and children shaped by it. Today's episode featured Dave Muller. Dave has written about his experiences in a book entitled, “Not Child's Play”, available where books are sold or at https://notchildsplay.co.uk/ You can email Dave at dave.muller@notchildsplay.co.za Dave is on Instagram @davenotchildsplay, on Facebook @Dave Muller and on YouTube @DaveMuller-NotChildsPlayIn the 1960s and 1970s, both South Africa and Mozambique were part of the larger decolonization of Africa, with South Africa gaining full independence from Britain in 1961 and Mozambique gaining independence from Portugal in 1975. However, in the decolonization process, both were thrown into proxy battles, between old structures clinging to power and the larger global cold war between communist and capitalist superpowers. South Africa, even after independence, was still ruled by a white minority government, under the National Party. The National Party was populated mostly by the white ethnic group known as Afrikaners who spoke a language called Afrikaans. The National Party instituted apartheid, a brutally oppressive system of institutionalized racial segregation and white supremacy enforced in South Africa from 1948 to the early 1990s. South Africa shares a northeastern border with Mozambique. When Mozambique gained independence in 1975, they were ruled by the Communist party known as FRELIMO. FRELIMO became a major force opposing apartheid in neighboring South Africa. The South African apartheid government, in response to FRELIMO's opposition, actively destabilized Mozambique from the inside by propping up a rebel group known as RENAMO. This led to a violent 15-year civil war in Mozambique, between the ruling, communist-backed FRELIMO party and the South African-backed RENAMO rebel group. In the first part of today's episode, you'll hear our storyteller speak about growing up in South Africa during apartheid as a white man, but he was not an Afrikaner, and grew up in a family that was opposed to apartheid. The second part of the story takes place in Mozambique, where he and his family are held by the RENAMO rebel group and caught in the chaos and fighting between FRELIMO and RENAMO, the two warring factions in the civil war there. Of course there is much more to say about all of this, and Dave will speak to some of these issues as he experienced them. I encourage you all to read more about the brutal and complex history of decolonization and apartheid in Africa. And one final note, you'll hear Dave talking about “Arwen” several times. In case it isn't clear right away, he is referring to his boat that he built.

"One thing that I really was not as aware of as perhaps I should have been, was the deep and abiding Congolese sense of having a long term relationship with the United States."Ambassador Tamlyn has spent much of her career working across Africa, from Sudan and the Central African Republic to Mozambique, Chad, and now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The DRC has Africa's fourth-largest population at around 112 million. Yet it remains one of its poorest countries and that's despite being the world's biggest producer of cobalt. Vast mineral wealth has in part fuelled a two-decade-long conflict in the east, one the United States has been trying to end. Could this be a breakthrough for a new foreign policy approach known as 'commercial diplomacy'? I spoke to one of Washington's most experienced ambassadors. Plus: Why the US needs to care about Congo

A universal nasal spray vaccine that could block nearly all viruses, and possibly also bacteria and allergens has been successful at early stages of research. By leaving immune cells ‘on alert', they become ready to jump into action no matter what infection tries to get into the body. Dr Matthew Fox, Professor in the Departments of Epidemiology and Global Health at Boston University, explains what this could mean for the future of disease prevention.Four years into the Ukraine war, the founder of global initiative ‘Think Equal' Leslee Udwin explains the programmes currently in place to help children to grow through their traumatic experiences. Plus, a teacher in Kharkiv, Violetta Kaleda, as well as some of the children within the programmes, describe the impact of bringing social and emotional learning into education. Prevention campaigns are resuming after the cholera outbreak in Mozambique has now been declared an epidemic by the country's national director of public health. Reporter Jose Tembe give the latest on the outbreak after the years-long shortage of cholera vaccines begins to rebound.As commercial spaceflight grows and human fertility in space becomes a more pressing concern, embryologist Giles Palmer explains the current understanding of the effects of spaceflight on human reproductive systems. Plus, a new study on ultra-endurance marathon running shows it may accelerate aging and the breakdown of red blood cells.

LAS HICISTE TODAS CON TU SABIDURÍA» (SALMO 104:24).Ponte botas de explorador. Vístete con pantalones reforzados. Busca un chaleco camuflado lleno de bolsillos. Toma un sombrero de aventurero. Ponte repelente y carga la batería de tu cámara fotográfica. Prepara tu corazón para emociones fuertes. Finalmente, enfréntate con determinación a los increíbles sacudones de un gran jeep a prueba de leones. ¿Nos vamos?Te presento una de las experiencias más increíbles de mi vida en medio de la naturaleza: ¡el safari! La sabana africana guarda misterios y descubrimientos que solo una aventura alucinante como esta puede revelar. Mientras el sol quema la piel y el horizonte parece bailar con los espejismos de la planicie, la curiosidad de explorar un continente de esta manera nos llena de pura adrenalina. Hacer un safari es enfrentar con valentía una expedición por tierra de los lugares salvajes de África.En suajili, la palabra «safari» significa «viaje», y quien ya ha disfrutado de esta experiencia sabe lo inolvidable que es ver animales increíbles en su hábitat natural. Los mejores lugares para esto son Sudáfrica, Kenia y Tanzania. A diferencia del pasado, cuando los safaris tenían como objetivo la caza, hoy son ideales para quienes desean observar, fotografiar y contemplar un inmenso zoológico sin fronteras.En la frontera de Mozambique con Sudáfrica, se encuentra el Parque Nacional Kruger, considerado la mayor reserva natural de fauna genuinamente africana. Aventurarse allí es enfrentarse a más de 140 especies de mamíferos y rumiantes (como leones, búfalos, rinocerontes, jirafas, cebras, ñus y elefantes), además de las más de 700 especies diferentes de aves, reptiles y anfibios. ¿Te lo imaginas?Pienso en la palabra «viaje», de donde proviene «safari». Nuestra vida también es un viaje, ¿no es cierto? Hay muchas cosas fantásticas creadas por Dios, y la naturaleza es una prueba irrefutable de la existencia del Señor. Sé que el pecado ha arruinado casi todo, pero aún podemos contemplar muchas huellas del Creador.¿Qué te parece hacer un safari en este día junto a Jesús? Este viaje será increíble, con experiencias inolvidables. Nunca dejarás de vivir emociones intensas con Aquel que te ama más que a nada en el universo. Solo tienes que ponerlo en primer lugar, ¿okey?¡Comienza ya esta aventura!

The battles are coming thick and fast because this is the end of the seventh decade of the 19th Century - the British have just been defeated at the Battle of Hlobane mountain on the 28th March. There's been so much skop skiet and Donner it's time to reflect on matters further south west Before we buzz back to Zululand next episode. n the Transvaal, resistance to British rule was slowly setting, like mortar hardening between stones, the scattered grievances of the Boers beginning to cohere into something firmer, more deliberate. Far to the west, Kimberley glittered with a different intensity - fortunes were rising from the dust, deals were struck in the heat and noise, and the great hole in the earth swallowed men and money alike. Yet beneath the clangour of picks and the shimmer of diamonds, another current was moving. For even as the town prospered, a sequence of personal tragedies was about to cast a longer shadow over Kimberley shaping not only its mood but the hardening temper of one of its most ambitious young men. Cecil John Rhodes would endure a series of personal blows in the years ahead. These losses did not soften him. If anything, they seemed to harden an already melancholic temperament. One by one, the setbacks accumulated, and the young speculator who often appeared distant in manner would, in time, come to embody the ruthless vanity and moral ambiguity that marked the diamond fields and the empire they fed. The string of tragedies began with his brother Herbert. It was he who had come to South Africa first and started the Cotton farm at Richmond near Pietermaritzburg. And It was he who had impulsively upped and off to Kimberley to look for diamonds. Once these had been unearthed and he'd convinced young Cecil to join him — he upped and off once more to the eastern Transvaal, where gold had been discovered. After a while he tired of that life and began gun running from Delagoa Bay to amaPedi people, then roved about into northern Mozambique and what is Malawi today. He hunted the next gold find everywhere he went, a mad Victorian searching for his personal treasure. Cecil John Rhodes watched and took his own notes. He was already thirsting for power, and now he realised there were two routes. From Barney Barnato he learned the value of politics, and from JB Robinson he came to understand the uses of Journalism. Rhodes wanted something much bigger, and that was a seat in the Cape Parliament. He ran for representative of a rural territory, Barklay West which was a mistake. When he appeared at a meeting one of the local boers told him off “In the first place, you are too young, in the second, you look so damnably like an Englishman…” Rhodes, unlike certain modern politicians, listened. First stage of campaign complete, time for second stage. And here it may surprise many listeners, but he turned to black South Africans because at this time in our history, blacks could vote in the Cape. All they had to do was show they had enough cash, the Cape qualified franchise. Every voter had to show either 25 pounds of land or more in value or prove they received at least 50 pounds a year in income. After disbursing black workers with an unknown sum of money, 250 turned up to vote for Rhodes on election day and largely because of this support, he won. It is truly amazing that Cecil John Rhodes won his seat in the Cape Parliament because of black voters, and would go on to hold that seat in periods of triumph, disgrace and depression, until the day he died.

Plantations have been the privileged tool of colonial rule and extraction in Mozambique for more than one hundred years despite never having delivered sustained economic or social benefits. Drawing on extensive archival and qualitative contemporary research, The Plantation Ideal: Landscapes of Extraction in Mozambique (U California Press, 2025) by Dr. Wendy Wolford offers new insights into plantation economies, histories, and landscapes. Dr. Wolford tells the story of how the largely failed pursuit of plantation production has shaped agricultural science, government rule, life on the land, and community development in Mozambique from the harshest years of Portuguese colonization to the present. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

You believe in God; believe also in Me.” As this midnight hour settles over Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Peru, and the places listening quietly in the night, Jesus, we come to You with the thoughts that don't switch off and the worries that sit heavily on the mind. Some nights feel too restless, too crowded with noise that doesn't belong to the heart, and yet You speak of a shelter, a place of shadowed peace where rest begins to breathe again. Tonight, Jesus, quiet the human mind and lift the anxieties that shape themselves in the dark. Let every listener feel the gentleness of Your presence, not as something distant but as a stillness that settles slowly, like evening air across a tired soul. Where fear tries to take shape, bring calm. Where unease has lingered, bring a soft reassurance that the night is held by You. For those who lie awake in São Paulo or Lisbon or Praia, for those listening from Luanda or Lima, let Your nearness become the steadying truth that carries them until morning comes. And in this moment of prayer, Jesus, let the shadow of the Almighty become more than words on a page — let it become the place where fear loosens, where burdens soften, and where the weary find rest. Stay close to every person who needs a quiet mind and a sheltered heart tonight. In the peace of Your presence, let the night be calm again. night prayer • fear at midnight • emotional rest • shadow of the Almighty • Jesus brings peace Psalm 91, Brazil Prayer, Night Peace, Christian Encouragement, Midnight DevotionalSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Some face the quiet ache of loneliness, others wrestle with decisions that feel uncertain, and some carry emotional shadows that follow them from morning into night. Yet Your promise stands unshaken: even in the darkest valley, You are with us. You do not step back. You do not disappear into the distance. You stay close enough to steady every trembling step. As the evening deepens, let that truth settle into weary souls and quiet troubled minds. Tonight, Jesus, lift away the fear that tries to define the unseen places. Heal the memories that sting when the world falls silent. Bring a gentle confidence into hearts that feel overwhelmed by tomorrow. For every listener who has cried silently, for those who have carried burdens without words, for those who have fought through this day with little strength left, breathe Your compassion into the deep places. Where tears have fallen, let comfort rise. Where disappointment has rooted itself, let hope begin again. Where confusion clouds the path ahead, let Your light open a way forward. As night spreads across Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique and every nation represented in this moment, let Your presence reshape the atmosphere. Let courage enter where fear has lived too long. Let clarity meet those who feel stuck. Let peace settle on homes, families, minds and spirits. Jesus, walk with us through every shadow and lead us toward a tomorrow filled with renewed strength. Light the path ahead and assure each listener that they will not face the coming day alone.

You see those hidden places within us that we rarely speak about — the heaviness that arrives late in the evening, the thoughts that circle without pause, the pressure to hold everything together. Yet Your Word promises something radically different: times of refreshing that come from Your presence, rest that only Heaven can release, peace that does not rely on circumstances. Tonight we lean into that promise. Jesus, restore joy that has been drained by the demands of the day. Restore peace where anxiety has built its own patterns. Restore confidence where discouragement has taken too much space. For those closing the night feeling overwhelmed, remind their hearts that Your salvation is not far away — it is near, present, gentle, and strong. Let Your Spirit move through each home, each quiet room, each weary heart listening now. Let the atmosphere shift as You pour rest over minds that have been running at full pace. Let emotional healing begin where thoughts have spiralled. Let renewed hope rise where the future feels unclear.  As Brazil settles into the late hours, as Portugal slows, as Angola and Mozambique breathe out from the day, and as listeners across many continents draw near, cover them with a peace that speaks louder than worry. Let sleep come easily. Let joy meet them again in the morning. Jesus, satisfy the soul tonight with the depth of Your presence and the promise that You will show salvation in ways they have not yet imagined.

Morning is often the moment when yesterday's worries return, when expectations surface, when the mind begins racing before the body has found its pace. But Your promise meets me here, at the edge of dawn, assuring me that I am not stepping into this day uncovered. Under Your wings, I find a refuge stronger than anything that threatens my peace. Across Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, Peru, the United States, India, and every place where people rise with similar anxieties, many hearts feel the same hidden pressure. Yet Your voice calls us gently: Come to Me. Rest. Let Me hold what feels too heavy. Jesus, lift the weight I wake up carrying. Let Your presence calm the restlessness that tries to take hold before the sun has even warmed the morning air. Where thoughts begin to run ahead of me, slow them. Where emotions feel tight, loosen them with Your comfort. Where fear tries to find an early foothold, push it back with the safety of Your covering. Let this be a morning where Your peace settles deeper than the worries that greet me. Help me step into this day knowing I do not walk alone. You go before me, You remain beside me, and You hold what I cannot manage. Under Your wings, I am steadied. Under Your wings, I breathe again. Under Your wings, I find rest that renews my strength. Jesus, cover my morning. Lift what I cannot carry. Let Your rest shape the hours ahead, filling them with quiet assurance and gentle hope.  manhã com Deus, oração de amanhecer, Psalm 91 devotional, morning anxiety prayer, Jesus gives rest, esperança Brasil, proteção espiritual, emotional renewal, Portuguese Christian prayer, global devotional Brazil Brazil morning prayer, Psalm 91 wings, Matthew 11:28 devotional, amanhecer oração, burdened heart prayer,Support the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

As the night settles across Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, Argentina, the USA and India, I ask You to help my heart rest beneath the shadow of Your care. In the darkness, when the mind searches for answers and the soul feels stretched, You remind me that real rest is found only in the shelter of the Almighty. I bring You the turbulence within me, the noise in my thoughts, the pressure behind my breathing, and I ask that You would gently quieten every part of me that feels unsettled. Jesus, Your peace is not distant; it is near, steady and constant. Tonight I welcome Your peace into the places where fear tries to rise, where exhaustion weighs heavily, and where unanswered questions feel too large to carry alone. Let Your calming presence soften the strain that presses against my mind. Let Your shadow become my refuge. Let Your voice quiet the anxieties that try to speak more loudly than Your promises. As many across Brazil and the Portuguese-speaking world search for comfort in the late hours, I pray that this moment becomes a doorway into stillness. Teach my heart to breathe slowly again. Lift the emotional heaviness that has gathered throughout the day. Let Your nearness settle over me like a warm covering, bringing safety where there has been tension and rest where there has been unrest. Jesus, hold me through the midnight hour. Watch over my home, my family and the people I love. Guide me as I surrender every burden into Your hands. And as I lie down, let Your shadow become the place where my soul finds deep, renewing peace. In You, Jesus, my night is quiet, my thoughts are steadied and my heart is restored.  Brazil prayer, oração da noite, Psalm 91 devotSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

The pressure of the day can arrive quickly, sometimes before a person has even left the house. Across Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, Chile, the United States, India, and every place where people wake to tasks that feel larger than their strength, minds begin to race and hearts search for stability. Yet You speak a word that softens all of it: You have given us a sound mind, steadied by Your Spirit, strengthened in Your peace. Jesus, steady me now. Silence the voices that push me into worry before the day has truly begun. Where fear tries to settle into my thinking, replace it with quiet courage. Where doubts whisper that I cannot handle what is ahead, remind me that I do not face this day alone. Guide my thoughts into clarity, so that decisions are not made from panic but from the calm that comes from being held in Your presence. Let Your love anchor me so firmly that the arrows of stress, expectation, and pressure lose their power to shake me. As the hours unfold, walk with me into each moment. Strengthen my mind so I don't crumble under what feels overwhelming. Lift my spirit so I rise above discouragement. Surround my emotions with the gentleness of Your peace. Help me breathe in the truth that You go with me, before me, and around me, shaping my steps and steadying my heart.

Hours of responsibility, conversation, expectation, and emotional strain can leave a soul tired.

For the one replaying the challenges of the day, bring clarity. For the one who fears tomorrow, bring assurance.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with Alice Miller, the CEO of Natan Worldwide Disaster Relief. Miller is nationally known for her landmark Supreme Court case in 1995, which opened the gates of the Israel Air Force to female fighter pilots. This decision paved the way for today's female combat soldiers and made Miller a household name. However, that was just the start of Miller's incredible journey that has taken her around the globe -- and her work as an aeronautical engineer may even reach the moon. Today, Miller serves as the head of an NGO that brings volunteer medical staff and therapists into international disaster zones. In the past year alone, teams have landed in Syria, Mexico and are shortly taking off for Mozambique. Following the October 7, 2023, Hamas onslaught on southern Israel, the organization began work in Israel for the first time -- and eventually, also in the Gaza Strip. We learn about the principled decision that has Israelis serving Gazans as we ask Miller, what matters now.
